Incredible Egyptian goal is disallowed because of a foul far away, then same situation a few minutes later and goal for Argentina not disallowed! No VAR, nothing? FIFA again looks like a corrupt joke, playing favorites for stars.

Argentina robbing Egypt.

Thanks Donald Trump for allowing the rest of the world to mock our football team because you couldn’t stop ruining everything you stick your nose into.

In Germany, a talented 14-year-old earns his club money. In America, his parents pay the club $15,000 a year.

That single inversion explains why "we will not" is the most accurate line ever written about US soccer.

FIFA built a global system for this. Training compensation and solidarity payments send a cut of every transfer fee back to the clubs that developed the player, from age 12 onward. Develop one future pro and your academy gets paid for a decade. Barcelona's La Masia, Ajax, every Bundesliga academy runs on this logic. The kid is the asset.

US Soccer refuses to enforce those rules. When Seattle's Crossfire Premier claimed its $60,000 share of DeAndre Yedlin's transfer to Tottenham, it got nothing. Claims on the Dempsey and Bradley transfers died partly because the federation couldn't even produce the youth training records.

So American clubs earn zero dollars when a kid turns pro. They earn when a kid enrolls. Which makes the parent the customer, and the product is whatever keeps the parent writing checks: travel tournaments, hotel weekends, $500 showcase events, private training at $100 an hour. Elite pathways run $8,000 to $20,000 a year. A comparable academy spot in Italy costs about 120 euros.

Follow the incentive one level deeper and it gets darker. A club dependent on fees can't cut its weakest paying players, so rosters optimize for retention over development. The scouting pool shrinks to families who can afford the cliff, which appears around age 11, exactly when development matters most. The country runs a talent filter sorted by household income instead of ability.

Every four years someone proposes fixing this. The proposal always requires the people profiting from the $15,000 model to vote themselves out of business.

They will not.

🚨🇪🇬 Check out the remarkable speech by the Egyptian head coach, Hossam Hassan on the Palestinian people during his pre-match press conference for the Argentina game:

🗣️ "If anyone has never felt the suffering of the Palestinian people, it's because they lack humanity.

It's a disgrace for the entire world, not just the Arab world, a disgrace for everyone and, above all, a disgrace for the decision-makers who set human beings aside.

𝗢𝗣𝗣𝗢𝗦𝗘 𝗜𝗧 𝗣𝗟𝗘𝗔𝗦𝗘, 𝗟𝗘𝗧 𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗣𝗔𝗟𝗘𝗦𝗧𝗜𝗡𝗜𝗔𝗡 𝗣𝗘𝗢𝗣𝗟𝗘 𝗟𝗜𝗩𝗘." 🇵🇸🙏

Hérculez Gómez has called out the major American networks for overhyping the USMNT 👀

He was speaking on ESPN FC show tonight, where he reacted to the Americans’ 4-1 loss to Belgium in the World Cup.

“That's a problem in this country. You're listening to people who are saying, we can go all the way and the U.S. can win the World Cup,”’Herc said.

“There are major networks saying these things. Why not us? Now, the coach can say it, absolutely, because he's the coach and he has to motivate his players.

“But you have a responsibility if you got a microphone in front of you to at some point in time just be realistic with the people.

“Belgium is a team that is on the cusp of that elite level around the world, but not one of those elite teams. They're not a France, they're not a Spain, they're not a Portugal.

“And in this year, [we played them in] two games, aggregate scoreline of 9-3 on home soil?

“I went out and I said this team could play against Belgium physically, that they would give them fits. Where we mistook our evaluation of this team was psychologically and mentally, what they would do if they faced adversity. They weren't ready for the moment.

“They weren't ready for it in 2022, and we said they were still green. They weren't ready for it here. And it's not debutantes like Alex Freeman who weren't ready.

“It's the likes of a Christian Pulisic, a Sergiño Dest. It's your most important players, a 39-year-old Tim Ream, if you will, your team captain.

“In the biggest of moments, you can't allow those players to have bad performances mentally. Because on the field, some things may not go your way.

“But from the opening minute that Matt Reese was tested, they were in a shell. And psychologically, they were already beaten.

“The U.S. men's national team beat themselves today. Belgium is a very good team and tactically took it to Mauricio Pochettino and his players.

“But this team, this Belgium team that we saw in this tournament, is not four goals better than the U.S. men's national team. The U.S. men's national team gave them those four goals today.”

Norway made youth sports free 40 years ago and just made the quarters for the first time ever. Probably not a coincidence.

[karlee @kar__lee]

Is Christian Pulisic a player that shows up in the big moments? No. Is he good leader? No. Does he have a charisma? No. Does he at least have good morals? No.
